Quoth the Raven....

Entries tagged with who: diana

Raven had spent the past four days hiding in her room, meditating and, well, moping. Andy had vanished without a trace, which had her very worried, and Diana had left Fandom as well, but at least she'd left Raven a brief note. On the plus side, no one had been in the room when she'd randomly broken into song the other day.

Her shields were stronger now, thanks to Anakin, but she was still shaken by what had happened in Kaeleer and couldn't quite rid herself of the unease she felt. She hoped she could settle herself soon and return to normal; she was already starting to feel the effects of exhaustion since sleep had been proving elusive. Maybe more meditation would help....

Raven had been struggling to hold herself together for the past few days. It had been hard for her to deal with people leaving, Dinah and Hoshi and Joan most of all. But Didi hadn't just left, she was gone, and Jono was in so much pain. She'd pushed aside her own grief to be there for him, taking her charge from Didi very seriously, watching over him and making sure he knew he was not alone. She worried though about making him feel smothered, so she was glad take time to rest and to allow Ben or someone else to make certain Jono was all right.

Meeting her new little sibling Kon at the welcome picnic had been interesting, particularly since he was from a world similar to hers and knew of a Raven who was a hero. Through and through, he had said, and after what she had been told by someone else from her future about how she was evil, it had been a great relief.

But one more newcomer had spoiled that pleasure. Zatanna. The woman who had proclaimed her evil and made the Justice League turn its back on her. The one who led them to stop the ritual that would have barred Trigon's way into this world. Whose actions led to Arella sacrificing herself to hold Trigon back. Who said Raven had enough darkness in her to break this plane.

She'd contained her anger -- just barely -- even as some small part of her struggled to accept that this Zatanna was not the same as the one she knew. But that allowed all her grief and pain to come rushing out now, everything from Arella's loss to her soul being ravaged as Fandom had been devoured by the void to Andy and his brother who seemed to hate her to Karla to people going away to Didi and Jono to Zatanna. She'd held everything in too long, and now it all came crashing down on her, and all she could do was huddle on her bed and cry.

[ooc: Mostly establishly since she's been heading for a minibreakdown for awhile now, but if you want to deal with Emo Girl, feel free to knock. ;) And thanks to Bridgey for pointing out that first tag.]

After Trigon and Raven had vanished and the demons had all disappeared, Arella turned to address those from Fandom. "I will return you to your home as my daughter requested," she said. "Unless...." She hesitated and glanced toward the Temple of Azarath, damaged but still standing.

Raven wasn't strong enough to take everyone far, but Azarath was close enough to reach safely. They found themselves between dark blue-green skies where stars and planets hung impossibly close. There were buildings around them of marble and gold, and people milling about in robes of grey and blue.

Raven knew Dinah would recognize where they were, but for the rest, she said quietly, "This is Azarath. Welcome to my home."

Raven's Soul-Self returned to the Netherverse and reappeared near where the battle against the demon Goronn still raged, depositing those she had brought back with her from Fandom. It then returned to Raven's side, merging once again with her body as the fight continued.

The sky turned black with smoke-like clouds, and two huge sets of burning red eyes peered down from above. Laughter roared like thunder, and lightning struck, tearing a hole in the air, through which crawled a reddish demon as large as five men. Its hands and feet ended in sharp claws, its mouth was filled with huge yellow teeth, and its tail ended in a spiked-club like some kind of demented dinosaur. It seized hold of Raven. "Ahh, little one, come and make Goronn a tasty meal," it cackled. "I hunger, dear Raven, I hunger for you!"

Raven swept up her friends into her Soul-Self, teleporting them into the netherverse, where Alligorr and his sorcererous companions awaited on a plateau amongst a rocky terrain. They stood now on a narrow bridge of stone that led to this plateau. The skies above were a strange reddish-orange and black.

Alligorr had sent word to Raven that it was time to perform the ritual to stop her father from entering this world's dimension. She wasn't expecting trouble, but there was always the chance that there could be an attack by those her father had managed to influence -- not to mention her own fear that she could succumb to her father's control -- so she felt much more confident with her friends there to watch. Their love and friendship gave her strength and helped her overcome her doubt and fear, but she was still nervous.

Raven had done as Karla suggested and not gone into work that afternoon, though she felt terribly guilty about it. She'd go check tomorrow after Magic Reserves to see if Aphrodite was all right and the store had been restored to its less disturbing state. If not, perhaps she could heal 'Dite of her anger.

For now, she was sitting on her bed with her laptop. And it was entirely Dinah's fault that she had clicked into a page of links to Rumor Gal fic about the actors instead of the characters. "I do not understand this," she said, glancing over to where Ajna was napping on the floor. "It is strange enough when they make the characters act in ways that are not true to themselves, but the actors? What is the appeal of making them all vampires and werewolves?"

Raven had hated missing class on Tuesday, but she decided she should skip her Wednesday class as well. She was physically well, but emotionally she was still upset, both about having allowed Max to get that close to her and for having to be the one to tell Karla and 'Dite what had happened. At least she had been allowed to go home the night before and wasn't still restricted to the clinic. It was more comfortable here in her room, and right now all she wanted to do was rest and try to put vampires and Max attacking her and Joan finding her and she and Jen getting her to the clinic all behind her. She wasn't sure what Anakin was going to do to Max, but she trusted that it would be appropriate. She just hoped Andy wouldn't do anything that would get him in trouble.

Right now she was curled in her bed, alternately dozing and trying to meditate and calm her emotions before they got out of control.
